Privacy Statement

The following policy provides you with an overview of how we
guarantee protection of your personal data.

General Information on Data Protection

Thank you very much for visiting our website and for your
interest in our products and services. Waldmann has committed itself to
appropriately protecting your personal data. Below we provide you with an
overview of how this protection is to be ensured.

You may browse our website without providing personal data
and thus without disclosing your identity to us.

However, when contacting us—particularly if you want to use
any of the services we offer—we may need to request, store, process and use
information regarding your identity (personal data, e.g. name, email address,
postal address, telephone number).

We expressly point out that you are not obliged to disclose
personal data to us. Replies to any such questions are always voluntary.

When handling personal data, we undertake to always observe
all applicable data protection regulations, including but not limited to the
provisions of the Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (Federal Data Protection Act of
Germany).

Our employees and any service providers engaged by them are
bound to secrecy and to comply with the provisions of the Data Protection Act.

Collecting, Processing and Using of Non-Personal Data

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service
provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called
cookies, text files which are stored on your computer and which allow an
analysis of your use of the website. Any information generated by those cookies
on your use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google
server in the US. However, should you access this website from a member state
of the European Union or from another country that is party to the Agreement on
the European Economic Area, and in case IP anonymisation is activated on this
website, Google will truncate your IP address before transmission. Only in
exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a server in the US and
truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use
this information for the purpose of analysing your use of the website,
compiling reports on the website activities and providing the website operator
with other services relating to website and internet usage. The IP address
transferred by your browser via Google Analytics will not be merged with other
Google data. You can prevent cookies from being stored by changing your browser
software settings accordingly; however, please be advised that in such a case
you might not be able to use all functions of this website to their full
extent. Moreover, you can prevent the transmission of data generated by the
cookies and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) to
and the processing of the same by Google by downloading and installing the
browser plugin available on the following link:
http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

You can refuse the use of Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set on the computer, which prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website:

Please note that on this website, Google Analytics code is supplemented by “anonymizeIp” to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses (so called IP-masking).

The collection, processing, use and transfer of personal data

We will
collect, store, process or use personal data only to the extent you have voluntarily
disclosed it to us while browsing our website and provided you have explicitly
agreed to its continued use. We will collect, process and use any personal data
you provided to us while browsing our website in strict compliance with the
provisions of law and only for the purpose we received it.

If you have commissioned us to provide a service or to ship goods, it may be necessary to pass your personal data to the companies we employ to perform this service or to execute the contract. For example, this includes shipping companies or other service providers. Apart from that, your data is only passed on within legal requirements.

Processsing in third party countries outside the EU is not conducted.

In as far as you have not expressly agreed to the further use of your data, these will be deleted after completion of the agreed purpose and after expiry of tax and trade-relevant regulations, unless you have expressly agreed to the use of your data beyond this purpose.

Right to Information According to § 34 of the Federal Data
Protection Act of Germany

Under the Federal Data Protection Act of Germany, you have
the right to always request information about personal data we hold about you
without payment (including about the origin of such data and the purpose of
storing it) and about the recipients such data may have been transferred to and
moreover you have the right to have such data corrected, barred and deleted.

Please also contact our Data Protection Officer if you do
not want to receive promotional material by email anymore, if you have any
questions about the collection, processing or use of your personal data, if you
wish to correct, bar or delete any data or if you need any other information.

Note: For the purpose of processing your online application,
we will collect, process and use your personal data. Your online application
data is stored on our web server so our HR personnel can directly access such
data. Adequate organisational and technical measures are in place in order to
ensure appropriate confidentiality of your personal data as provided for by
law. Any data to be transferred is encrypted using the SSL method.

Should you have applied for a specific job which is no
longer available or in case we would like to consider you for another job too
or for a job which we think you are even more suitable for, we usually forward
your application within our company. Please inform us if you disagree with this
procedure. After completion of the application process, but no later than after
six months, all your personal data will be deleted automatically, unless you
have expressly agreed to your data being stored for a longer period of time.

Data
Security

Our website and all other systems are protected against
loss, damage, manipulation and unauthorized access to your data by technical
and organisational measures based on state-of-the-art technology.

Cookies are alphanumerical identification characters in the
form of small data files which we transfer to the hard drive of your computer
via your web browser or other programmes. Cookies enable our systems to
recognise your browser and serve the purpose of improving our service offering.

To ensure our internet offering is useful and interesting
for our customers, we use cookies to produce statistics as regards access to
our website. No personal data will be stored in these cookies. Statistical
interpretation is made on the basis of the ID number assigned to you. Via this
ID you cannot be personally identified. You can allow or reject cookies. Most
web browsers accept cookies by default, but you can adjust the settings of your

Use of Google remarketing

This website uses the Google Inc. (“Google”) remarketing function. This function presents website visitors within the Google advertising network with adverts related to their interests. The browser of the website visitor saves so-called “Cookies” which are text files that are stored on your computer. This allows the visitors to be recognised when they open the websites that are part of the Google advertising network. Adverts with content that the visitor has previously opened on websites that use the Google remarketing function can be presented to visitors on these pages. Based on Google’s own information, the company does not collect any personal data as part of this process. If you do not want the remarketing function from Google to be applied to your browser, you can deactivate it using the settings under http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can deactivate the use of cookies for interest-related advertising via the advertising network initiative by following the instructions under http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp. You can find more information about Google remarketing and the data protection declaration of Google at http://www.google.com/privacy/ads/.

Hotjar

This website uses Hotjar, a web analysis service from Hotjar Ltd. (‘Hotjar’). It records anonymised interactions of randomly selected individual visitors to the Internet page. This produces a log report, e.g. of mouse movements and clicks, with the aim of highlighting the available options for improving that web page. Hotjar uses ‘cookies’, text files that are stored on your computer and that enable you to conduct an analysis of website usage. To eliminate any direct reference to a specific individual, IP addresses are always anonymised before they are stored for further processing. In addition, for statistical purposes, information is gathered about the operating system, browser, incoming and outgoing references (‘links’), geographical origin, resolution and type of device. This information does not contain personal details, and neither we nor Hotjar communicate it to third parties. If you do not wish to receive a recording, you can disable this on all Internet pages that use Hotjar by setting the DoNotTrack header in your browser. For further information, please visit: https://www.hotjar.com/opt-out

By using this website, you declare that you consent to the data you capture being processed by Hotjar Ltd. in the aforementioned way and manner, and for the aforementioned purpose. For further information about Hotjar, please visit the following manufacturer’s weblink: https://www.hotjar.com/terms
